I've had more than my share of malapropisms. Here's one that stuck in my mind...
I used to work at the service desk of a computer store. A customer came in and wanted to speak with the repair tech who was working on his machine. I told the cust that his quarry was at the quickkymart around the corner getting coffee, and if he waited here, he could buttonhole him on the way in.
except...I didn't actually use the word "buttonhole"...I said "cornhole".
ewps.
